Cherry Red vs Ascot Grey

[Kayleigh]

I am conflicted. I’m definitely a Cherry Red type.

But I do think the Ascot Grey looks rather smart.

My boring financial mind says easier resale on AG

Do you work in Finance? Already looking at the resale value

This is my red van with Devonports. I do like how they look but the plan would be for gloss black at some point.

I don’t work in finance. But always pays to consider these matters.

I received a cherry red one while we ordered a cali in ascot grey.

California delivered ... in the wrong colour

Hellow everyone reading this. Here it comes: we ordered a coast at the end of August 2020 with estimated delivery in May 2021. Delivery was a little earlier, namely last Monday, March 22nd. Nice, I thought when I got the news. However, when checking the invoice that I received via email, I...

Since the nostalgic effect on me made me choose the grey and so I decided not to take the red one and wait for what I ordered and wanted. However, the colour cherry red is very beautiful and it was actually quite a difficult decision. I still look at a cherry red Cali as: I could have had one of those and I would be very happy with it. However, the ascot grey one has more reasons to be mine. I think it is a beautiful grey that has different effects depending on the weather and light. And whether I washed it, which unfortunately doesn't happen very often. I'm not going to give a preference because for me it's ascot grey, but I think they're just as beautiful.

Red is my favourite colour. I can't look at it now . I traded this in for our van.

Looks very smart.
Not for me though. I would take a cali over any other vehicle. (Then again I’m still in the market for one )

I do enjoy a sports car in red

RED, I like I like an outspoken colour as being merry. As being retired I think my gray hair contrast beautifully with our cherry red bus.

 

[JuanVecino2023]

I had a theory earlier. Perhaps the early showing for grey is as sensible folk they are up early & voting.

Maybe the more rebellious red folks are night owls.

Will the voting edge towards red as darkness has fallen.

This is too exciting

Yep sports cars are one trick ponies. The 993 was great for canyon carving but useless for making coffee or taking a kip.

My 996 never goes anywhere. I take it out about twice a year.

Yes because you don’t lose your van mixed in with all the other grey, white, cream vans! But to be fare I am biased .

Little powdercoat on those badboys?

 

[JuanVecino2023]

No late votes from the red wall!

 

[66tim99]

Haha, just re read this….. I’m deffo a cherry red type As for the wheels….. my son put some tasty 20 in wheels on his which he had powder coated in a dark gold (!) …….. but they do look good!

I’d appreciate a pic if you have one

Not sure if the polls have closed as such, but the ratio has stabilised at ca 67% AG 33% CR.

If I had guesstimated beforehand, that would be about where I would peg it. Personal preferences aside, it's definitely a safe choice.

I would be really interested to repeat the exercise with AG vs another safe & popular colour like Starlight Blue. I love a stat. But that would be overkill!

Thanks all who have participated to date. A fun exercise and healthy debate.

@Kayleigh - I hope you picked the Pulp Fiction quote and didn't think I was being an aggresive forum nutjob!

An AG photo, near Trefasser South Wales in August, to balance the CR

 

[DevillBelgium]

Still the best choice with the contrasting black wheels.

Well in a last ditch attempt to boost the red vote…

A red Cali is obviously going to be much faster than a grey Cali!!!

Here’s my (modified) Pulp Fiction quote

“I got a threshold, Jules Juan. I got a threshold for the abuse I'll take. And you're crossing it. I'm a race car and you got me in the red. Just know, it's ******' dangerous to be drivin' a race car when it's in the red. It could blow.” Haha!

Definitely RED!!!

These are not the best coz he has been out and got it dirty! I gave the wheel a quick flash over with the hose and rubbed the dirt off the lower section but you get the idea……..
